This UT Austin graduate was the ultimate volunteer. In Dallas from the 1950s through the 1980s, she helped raise millions for the arts and social causes. She became the city's first elected female mayor in 1957. Today, UT celebrates her life as a public servant and humanitarian through the Annette Strauss Institute for Civic Life.
